2FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
B010F01A-AAT Operation in Foreign Countries If you are going to drive your Hyundai in another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regardingregistration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
Unleaded petrol with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Num- ber 91) or higher must be used inyour Hyundai. If leaded petrol is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become ineffec- tive and the emission control system to malfunction. This can also result inincreased maintenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel, the larger nozzle used with leaded petrolat service stations cannot be inserted into the fuel tank opening of your Hyundai.
B010A01A-DAT Use Unleaded Petrol
B010E01A-DATPetrol for Cleaner Air To help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you usepetrol treated with detergent additives, which help prevent deposit formation in the engine. This petrol will help theengine run cleaner and enhance per- formance of the Emission Control Sys- tem.
B010D01A-DAT Do not Use Methanol Fuels containing methanol (wood al- cohol) should not be used in your Hyundai. This type of fuel can reducevehicle performance and damage com- ponents of the fuel system.
! CAUTION:
Hyundai Warranty Policy will not cover the damage of the fuel sys- tem and performance problems that are caused by the use of methanolor fuels containing methanol.
B010B01A-AAT What About Gasohol [E-10]? Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gasoline and 10% ethanol or grainalcohol) may be used in your Hyundai. However, if your engine develops drive ability problems, the use of 100% un-leaded gasoline is recommended. Fu- els with unspecified quantities of alco- hol, or alcohols other than ethanol,should not be used.

B260J01S-DATCharging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is amalfunction in the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the engineand check under the bonnet. First, make certain the alternator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of thebelt. If the belt is satisfactory, have the system checked by your Hyundaidealer. B260M01A-AAT
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on when the fuel tank is approaching empty. When it comes on, you should add fuel as soon as possible. Drivingwith the fuel level warning light on or with the fuel level below "E" can cause the engine to misfire and damage thecatalytic converter.
! CAUTION:
If the drive belt (alternator belt) is loose or breaks while the engine isrunning, engine could overheat be- cause this belt also drives the water pump. B260L01A-GAT
Door Ajar Warning Light
The door ajar warning light warns youthat a door is not completely closed.
If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring itto a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. The brake fluid level warn- ing light indicates that the brake fluidlevel fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifi-cations should be added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be carefully driven to a Hyundaidealer for inspection. If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or some other safe method. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal brakingsystems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems should fail. With only oneof the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car.Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only a portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail whileyou are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so. B260K01MC-DAT
Boot Lid/Tail Gate Open Warning Light
This light remains on unless the boot lid/tail gate is completely closed andlatched.

regulation values are not satisfied. This light will also illuminate when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, and then it will go out in a few seconds after
the engine is started. If it illuminates
